You’re not doing rehab just to get better at rehab exercises.

The goal is getting back to the things that actually matter to you; running, lifting, training, sport, or whatever you want your body to handle again.

Rehab should progressively build you toward those demands.

Pogo jumps should be quick, springy and reactive.

If you’re sinking into every rep, they can start looking more like repeated squat jumps than pogos.

Think: bounce, don’t squat.

Save this for your next plyometric session.

Sport and training have always been a big part of my life.

That’s shaped the way I approach rehab today — especially with athletes and active people who don’t want “just stop training” to be the only answer.

I’m Adrian, physio and director at Novar Sports Physio.

Strong doesn’t always mean sport-ready.

Slow strength work matters — but running, jumping and sport also require you to produce and absorb force quickly.

That’s where plyometric work can help bridge the gap between strength and performance.

If your goal is getting back to running or sport, rehab often needs both.

Pain during training doesn’t always mean you need to stop. 🟢🟠🔴

Sometimes you can continue and monitor it. Sometimes the session needs to be modified. And sometimes stopping and getting it assessed is the right call.

The key is knowing the difference.

Save this one for the next time something starts niggling during training.

Consistency is important.

4am is not. 😂
